Ep171 The Pupils: What Can They Tell Us?

Ep202 Medication: Salbutamol pMDI

A patient is wheezing, short of breath, and reaches for their blue reliever inhaler. But what exactly is salbutamol, how does it work, and when should it be used? In this episode, you’ll learn how a salbutamol pressurised metered dose inhaler, or pMDI, works, when it is indicated, and how it helps relieve bronchospasm. You’ll also discover the role of spacers, common side effects, and why not every patient with breathing difficulty is having an asthma attack. #dailyminutepodcast #firstaidshowaustralia #firstaid #firstaidtraining #salbutamol #asthma #respiratorycare #medications

Ep201 Duty of Care

If someone collapses in front of you, do you have to help? Could you be sued for providing first aid? And what happens legally once you decide to step in and assist? In this episode, you’ll learn what duty of care means, when a legal responsibility to provide first aid exists, and how Good Samaritan protections work in Australia. You’ll also discover why staying within your training, obtaining consent, and understanding your responsibilities can help protect both you and your casualty. #dailyminutepodcast #firstaidshowaustralia #firstaid #firstaidtraining #dutyofcare #goodsamaritan #workplacefirstaid #legalaspects

Ep199 Australian Snake Bite Management

You’ve recognised the signs of a snake bite, but what should you do next? Should you wash the wound, try to identify the snake, or immediately apply a bandage? The first few minutes after a suspected snake bite can make a significant difference. In this episode, you’ll learn the key steps in managing a suspected Australian snake bite, why pressure immobilisation is so important, and why keeping the patient still may be one of the most effective treatments available.
